The story line itself was not the most interesting. Obviously it's something we've seen before. Man abused by his dad inflicts pain on others. For the story, I give it a 5.
The reason I gave this 9 stars was because of Penelope. She was the port in a sad man's storm. No one else in the show would likely do what she did. For her to witness what she did after what she went through, well that makes her a truly unique woman.
I did draw a parallel though between the primary story and Penelope's. When the prisoner was executed I feel as though he didn't want to die alone because he was worried about entering heaven or hell. With the primary story being wrapped around Dante's Inferno, I believe (solely my opinion) Garcia witnessing the execution saved the man a life in hell even after all the terrible things he'd done.
Penelope is pure heart. It is that simple.
